Ryuki Ishii based on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20220204-191124\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese article\u00a0<\/a>(original article&#8217;s publication date: 2022-02-04 17:26 JST)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Square Enix has announced <strong><em>Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden<\/em> <\/strong>for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC (Steam). It will be digital download only and will come out on February 17. This is the second game in the <em>Voice of Cards<\/em> series, where all elements in the game are presented entirely through cards. The first <em>Voice of Cards <\/em>game came out just four months ago in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like in the first game, Yoko Taro is involved as the creative director, Keiichi Okabe as the music director, Kimihiko Fujisaka as the character designer, and Yosuke Saito as the executive producer. The voice of the game master, however, has changed from Todd Haberkorn to Mark Atherlay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden | Announce Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S1tdy1aBA1U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The story takes place on a remote island chain that&#8217;s been protected by maidens for generations. But one of the islands is now on the brink of ruination due to the absence of a maiden. The protagonist must set sail on a voyage to circumvent fate and save his island. His journey will be accompanied by Laty, a girl who failed to become a maiden, and other comrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the game system is inherited from the previous game,<em> Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars<\/em>, <em>The Forsaken Maiden<\/em> is not a direct sequel, so you don\u2019t need to have played the first game to understand the story. Judging from the description on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jp.square-enix.com\/vocm\/system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official website<\/a>, a total of four characters can join battles instead of three like in the previous game.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220204-191124-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There will be eight DLC packs that allow players to change the design of the cards.
